Small groups, matched on temperament and play style, out in real countryside rather than round the block. Your dog gets to sniff, explore, move properly and spend time with dogs who suit them, with someone watching how they are coping the whole way round.
Best for: Sociable dogs who enjoy company.
Because a walk should be more than exercise.
One dog, one walk, all the attention. For dogs who find other dogs difficult, who are older or recovering, who are nervous, or who simply do better on their own. The pace, the route and the length are led by your dog, and if they need a slow sniffy wander rather than a march, that is what they get.
Best for: Reactive, anxious, senior or recovering dogs.
A toilet break, a welfare check and whatever basic care your dog needs, in their own home. Short, but it changes the shape of a long day for a dog waiting on their own.
Best for: Long working days, or when you are held up getting home.
Overnight care in your dog's own home, so nothing about their world changes while you are away. Their bed, their routine, their garden, their smells. For a lot of dogs, and particularly anxious ones, that matters more than anything else you could offer them.
Includes the overnight stay plus three welfare visits across the following day, each 15 to 30 minutes, covering feeding, a walk, medication if needed and a proper check on how they are doing.
Best for: Holidays and time away, and for dogs who find kennels or an unfamiliar house difficult.
Four welfare visits spread across the day, in your dog's own home. Each one can include a toilet break, a walk, feeding, medication where agreed, and a proper look at how they are getting on.
Best for: Days you are away without an overnight, and for dogs who do better in their own surroundings than anywhere else.
Training is my main focus. If your dog struggles on walks, the reactivity programme is the place to start.
Kelly has been absolutely amazing with my Kenzie. She has taken her for weekly walks … Kelly is highly professional, she's reliable, honest, punctual and loving to dogs, you can see how much she loves her job by the personal updates you get but also by seeing her feeds on insta and Facebook.
Kelly does not pressure dogs, when she changed to a van it took many weeks and treats to get Kenzie into her van (she's a bit funny about new vehicles) but once she had there was no looking back for Kenzie and loved her walks in the hills and dips in the water.
I would highly recommend purple woofs 😀
Kelly was looking after our two greyhounds, when we were away. We have been impressed with her since the "meet and greet" day. She has a love and good hand for dogs and these two are not the easiest to handle on a walk, when cat is in sight. The communication was great, frequent updates via whatsapp. We were so happy to have her walking our dogs. And the doggies were happy too, which is most important! :)
This is my second review for Kelly @ Purple Woofs because she deserves 10 stars! 🌟
Kelly has been walking Bella for 2.5 years, and the difference she's made in Bella's life is incredible. Bella has learned so much during her time with Kelly and the other dogs, from improving her leash training to developing safe and positive interactions with dogs of all sizes.
Kelly's dedication, expertise, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does. I always feel confident knowing Bella is in the best hands, getting the exercise, socialization, and care she needs.
I couldn't recommend Kelly and Purple Woofs more highly, she's simply the best! 🐾
I would be LOST without Kelly who has been looking after my dogs for a number of years now both with walks, drop ins … and training. She is so good with them. The sheer excitement when they see her is a testament to how amazing she is with them. I can rest easy knowing they are in her care, she always keeps me up to date. …
